Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds Reviews
FFXV Comrades isn’t great – for now – but the development team behind the game’s post-release content has a track record of improving things over time. The expansion has a mountain of technical problems, a ham-strung design in comparison to the main game, and becomes tedious and repetitive to play after only a short while. These are, however, all fixable issues, and in the immediate wake of Comrades’ release, it was already receiving improvements and fixes. I have little doubt we’ll see more added to it over time, likely in the form of new mission types and possibly some narrative improvements. Whatever the changes, I’m certain that this will feel and play very differently in six months time. For those interested, or burned by the initial offerings, I’d recommend keeping an eye on it and waiting.
The Frozen Wilds is a splendid ending of the spectacular Horizon Zero Dawn. Although the DLC doesn't offer any groundbreaking new mechanics and merely enriches the already rich base game, you shouldn't miss it. Spending more hours of quality entertainment with Aloy is worth it.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a successful Expansion of an amazing game that could have used a bit more variety and is sadly making the same mistakes from the main game. The great balancing and the new challenges will still entertain fans of the game in the usual quality and offer new replay value.

The Frozen Wilds offers a lot more to the overall experience of Horizon Zero Dawn, but it's not quite the stand-alone experience that we want it to be.
The same tension is elicited when confronted by an imposing mechanical threat, and wonder is experienced when you round a corner and make another stunning discovery. If you’ve been looking for another reason to get back into Horizon: Zero Dawn, then you’ve got the best possible excuse right here.
The Frozen Wilds adds more depth to Horizon: Zero Dawn as it also paves the path for a sequel that might be set in a different location that is far from the tribes. This expansion completes the overall formula that Guerrilla Games wanted to do with their latest IP, and with extreme efforts, they turned world of Horizon: Zero Dawn into a whole new level that I had enjoyed deeply.
The Frozen Wilds isn’t a must play expansion, but it’s a damn good one. It challenges skills you thought you’d already mastered and there’s more Aloy. That’s enough to get a recommendation from me.
The Frozen Wilds definitely crowns Horizon Zero Dawn.

The Frozen Wilds delivers a 15-hour story expansion at a very fair price, following the production quality of the main game. The new additions are fun and it’s the most beautiful Winter Wonderland ever created.
Horizon: Zero Dawn, and its expansion, The Frozen Wilds, is a game that should not be missed. Whether you are a Sony fan, Nintendo fan, or a Microsoft fan, you owe it to yourself to go and buy a PS4 if you don't already have one, and play this game. It is easily worth the cost to experience once of gaming's increasingly scarce masterpieces.
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is exactly what a great expansion pack should be. Guerrilla Games have provided a brand new experience, expanding on what they had set up in Zero Dawn and improving what was already a great game. I loved every minute of the 15 or so hours back in that world. The amount of new content, beasts and objectives left me feeling extremely satisfied by it's end.
The Frozen Wilds expansion for Horizon: Zero Dawn is worth every single penny. Depending on how you play it and the amount of activities you completed you can breeze through it as quickly as 10-12 hours, or spend as long as 20-25 hours completing everything. The environments are spectacular and second to none that I have seen in other video games, with memorizing glacier glows and chilly blasts of icy snow, and the new machines have an added color range which really lights up the screen. Whilst the storyline is not quite as compelling as that of the main game – naturally, it is still a lot of fun to play and feels like it has clear purpose. I highly recommend The Frozen Wilds to anyone who just enjoys good video games, and am thoroughly looking forward to any further expansions that Horizon: Zero Dawn has to offer in the future.
Horizon: The Frozen Wilds DLC is everything a DLC expansion should be.
Aloy returns once more, this time to a place called The Cut, to find about very frightening fact. It is said that there is a completely new type of machine that kills everything with easy snap of the fingers. The only one who can stop this is Aloy and it won't be easy at all. The sophisticated action-semi-RPG is receiving its expected expansion, which is very good, polished, hard and fun!

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a phenomenal addition to an already fantastic game. It shares the same quality as the main game and doubles down on feature content with more battles, quests, and challenges.
Seeing Aloy again, it's just the best thing in the world.

As DLCs go, this does the expected such as adding a new area, new skills and enemies and weapons, but where it truly succeeds is in the characters and plot and situations it introduces, which add a lot to the experience and complements the game nicely.

Tougher combat scenarios are most of what it brings to the table. If you hoped the first (maybe only) Horizon Zero Dawn expansion would expound on the game's ending, you'll be disappointed.
The Frozen Wilds is a great expansion to Horizon Zero Dawn that feature a new area, a new storyline and new equipment for Aloy that add to the main game up to 20 more hours of gameplay and amazing places to discover. The expansion comes at a fair price that allows anybody who loved the original game to adventure once again in the fascinating sci-fi world made by Guerrilla. You cannot miss this.

Even though it doesn't shake things too much, The Frozen Wilds is a worthy expansion that is fun exploring. The DLC adds a new story, several side-quests and lots of challenges that will entertain veterans and newcomers alike.
